Abstract:
Sudden cardiac death (SC D ),m ostcom m only seen in coronary heart disease, is a kind of sud-den death caused by series of cardiac param eters, w hich usually com bines w ith m yocardial infarction. H ow ever, som e SC D s (including early m yocardial infarction) happen suddenly and cause death in a very short tim e. In these circum stances, typical m orphological changes are lack in m acroscopic or m icroscopic fields, w hich m ake such SC D s becom e the em phasis and difficulty in the present research. SC D caused by m yocardial infarction and abnorm alities of cardiac conduction system (C C S ) is related to atheroscle-rosis of coronary artery closely. T his paper review s cardiac dysfunction caused by m yocardial infarction and diseases of C C S from m orphology and m olecular biology, and explores potential relationship be-tw een them . T his paper aim s to provide clues to the m echanism of m yocardial infarction related sudden death and possible assistance for forensic diagnosis of SC D .
